The Golem
In Jewish folklore, a golem (sometimes, as in Yiddish, pronounced goilem) is an animated being created entirely from inanimate matter. In modern Hebrew the word golem literally means «cocoon», but can also mean «fool», «silly», or even «stupid». The name appears to derive from the word gelem, which means «raw material».
